"Here's how people in Minneapolis responded to George Floyd's death," Tucker Carlson says, and then he shows citizen videos of looting and fires instead of the protest movement that swept across the country two months ago this week. So insulting to the people of Minneapolis.

At a perilous time for Pittsburgh #journalism, my admiration in boundless for @PGNewsGuild members. Treated for 3+ years as chattel, they are laser-focused on their commitment to their calling. Courageous and true professionals. I am humbled to be their colleague and friend.

In March of 2016 I led @Poynter event to celebrate @PulitzerPrizes centennial. Keynote by Rep. John Lewis, who encouraged us to "make good trouble." At end gospel choir singing "We Shall Overcome." Many in audience in tears. Someone grabs my hand. I look up. It's John Lewis.
